my hero.....

thanks k

 

No wheels and tires for the front of the fb until next wednesday for me. Looks like I will be flogging the M coupe, thank god for the street tire class.

 

see you there. I'll try to remember to take pics this time.

 

Ok, so was that fun or what?

What a great day of racing!

 

was a good day. i gotta find out if my old tires are good enough to run. they are worn, no threads showing, but worn.

 

Wow what a blast. That has to be the fastest autocross course I have ever done. 75 in second gear, is a little scary the first couple times.



Adrian I have your tools at my house in federal way. I sent you a pm with my number. Nice to see some Izzy's people out there again.

 

Very little conage today, the course was wide enough you could just about float through it. Just Bill had to slow it down in a couple spots from what PCA was running.



So, Chris you two were running 75? Damn! I knew I was getting deep into 3rd, but I did not look down. Just too much fun!

 

Yup, It was lots of fun. I finally got the courage to go fast on the last run and took 3 seconds off. Chris still beat me by 1/10th though. I took a couple spots in a different line and used less brakes too, that seemed to help. If only I had a couple more runs.



Our rev limiter kicks in at about 75 mph in 2nd and we both hit it on our faster runs just before we hit the braking zone so we didn't need to shift.



Here's some photos I took. See y'all on April 15 for event #2



Dave - this ones for you









Jerry keeping his tires warm

 

so what were the times for the second half? my best was like 61.9, but damn my car slides too much. better tires and i think i will be up there.

 

times aren't posted yet, but my best was 65.4 once i finally got through without missing a gate (or four). damn, i'm gonna need a map and a seeing eye dog to make it through one of those clean in the first 4 runs!!!!
